Grammar / Prepositions of place

A1 Breakthrough

To express the situation of a place, an object, or a person, we use prepositions.

Observe the following sentences:

Je vais travailler.
J'aime mon travail.

The sentence "Je vais travailler" is AU-DESSUS DE the sentence "J'aime mon travail."
The sentence "J'aime mon travail" is EN DESSOUS DE the sentence "Je vais au travail."
